The surf camp is surrounded by lush gardens featuring a swimming pool and a sauna – for the colder months of the year. The vila contains different bedrooms in the house and bungalows in the garden. As soon as you arrive, Iris, Urs, and the whole team will be working hard on and off of the beach to ensure that your surf experience with us will be one to remember!
We, the whole TSE Team, wants to thank you for the amazing season 2019 and we are looking forward to welcome all of you in April 2020 again.
All rooms of the surf camp comply with the highest standard and have their own bathrooms. The luxurious vila features a large living room with a TV, DVD player, stereo, and pool table to ensure a relaxing environment after a hard day at the beach! As many guests had to find out, leaving can be very difficult and return visits to our surfing home in Portugal are very common.

TSE – The Surf Experience is a family affair surf camp and staying at Vila Catarina is a perfect chance to participate in the surf culture on all levels.

Surfschool in Portugal – surf coaching is our most comprehensive program. Whether you are a beginner, an intermediate or an advanced surfer – our progressive surf lessons will match your abilities.

Surf, Eat, Sleep – Repeat.
Inhale, exhale and activate your muscles before surfing or join one of our classes after the surf to relax and stretch your body.
Surfers take a lot of pounding that by the end of a day in the water, leaves them with tight, sore muscles. Tense muscles can have a domino effect, spreading through the entire body and affecting nerves, muscles, and bones. Our surfing massages directly address this problem by easing muscles and enabling the body to maintain a healthy posture and balance.
